SAMHSA Certified Opioid Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Fonda, NY.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "SAMHSA" for short, is the government department in charge of efforts to promote the mental health of the U.S.. One of its obligations is the oversight of opioid treatment programs, which are centers who provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to people who are experiencing opioid addiction and dependency. Medications administered are drugs like methadone, buprenorphine and other drugs which stop curb cravings and withdrawal for opioid addicted people. SAMSHA certified opioid treatment facilities in Fonda are programs who are officially permitted to give out the medicines used in MAT as long as they remain certified and always maintain the necessary requirements. One of these requirements is that MAT individuals must also get auxiliary services in addition to medicine such as psychotherapy, behavioral therapy or counseling.

An opioid rehab center can get their basic certification while working towards becoming fully accredited, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid rehabilitation programs authorized by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. In addition, they must register with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehabilitation program is certified, they need to get re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the kind of certification it has been granted.
